With the Open Championship just a day away, Callaway’s team of Staff Professionals have been honing both their game and their equipment in preparation for the challenges of Royal St George’s. Many have visited the Callaway Tour Truck in order to customise existing equipment or even take on new clubs to help cope with the testing conditions out on the links.
